Adding tables

To insert a table,  create a blank table using the table icon on the Rich Text Editor. From here, you can choose the number of rows and columns for your table.

Tables on the Right Decision Service will have a standard formatting style applied automatically, but you can make adjustments to this by selecting "Table Properties > Advanced Settings". 

Column One	Column Two	Column Three
Sample Text.	Sample Text.	Sample Text.
Example of custom border colour.		Example of custom fill colour.
Example of merged cells.

 

When adding tables, they will automatically appear with horizontal and/ or vertical scroll bars if they are larger than the page. In order for your content to not scroll off the page, you will have to adjust the settings using the "Table Properties" option.

• Change the width to 500 for smaller tables, or 600 for larger. 
• Then click into each cell in the top row and insert width measurements that will add up to the total width (i.e. 500 or 600). For example, if your total width is 500, you could have two columns which are 250 wide. If you total width is 600, you could have three column with widths of 100, 200 and 300. 
• Lastly, if you have a cell that has been merged to span across all the columns (like the last 2 in the above sample table), you also need to set the width in the cell properties to the overall width of the table. 

It is worth noting that tables above a certain length or width will require scrolling, particularly when viewed on devices with smaller screens.

This may cause issues if users are unaware that there is content that is not visible. For this reason, you may consider including a caption to the table to highlight this. For example:

"Please note that the above table may need to be scrolled horizontally or vertically in order to view all information, depending on your device".
